Montezuma and Copeland 4th graders went to the Farm Bureau "Friends on the Farm Day" at the Finney County Fairgrounds on January 24th. The students learned about a swather, a combine, a tractor, corn and sheep. This is a great way to learn more about agriculture that is happening all around us.

The Junior High Basketball Games scheduled for today at Ashland have been cancelled due to the inclement weather. The games will not be rescheduled.

Thank you for your continued patience and partnership as we address the recent cybersecurity incident. Over the last few weeks, we have been focused on assessing the scope of data involved, making further enhancements to our cybersecurity defenses, and developing a plan to help you and our shared community.
As a PowerSchool SIS customer whose information was involved, I am writing to provide you with updates on several important next steps:
Identity Protection and Credit Monitoring Services: PowerSchool has engaged Experian a trusted credit reporting agency, to offer complimentary identity protection and credit monitoring services to all students and educators whose information from your PowerSchool SIS was involved. This offer is being provided regardless of whether an individual’s Social Security number was exfiltrated.
Identity Protection: PowerSchool will be offering two years of complimentary identity protection services for all students and educators whose information was involved.
Credit Monitoring: PowerSchool will also be offering two years of complimentary credit monitoring services for all adult students and educators whose information was involved.
Notifications: Starting in the next few weeks, PowerSchool will be handling notifications to involved individuals and relevant state attorney general offices on your behalf. We hope to relieve the burden of these notifications on you and your institution. You may opt out if you would prefer to notify directly.
Community: PowerSchool will coordinate with Experian to provide notice on your behalf to students (or their parents / guardians if the student is under 18) and educators, as applicable, whose information was involved, as well as a call center to answer questions from the community. The notice will include the identity protection and credit monitoring services offer (as applicable).
Regulatory: PowerSchool will provide notification on your behalf to relevant state attorney general offices

A decision about the status of todays JH BB games at Ashland will be made no later than 11:00 a.m.

REMINDER: SGHS FCA will be collecting money for Trace Alexander, a South Central sophomore who was diagnosed with cancer. We will collect money January 17th and January 21st at our home games. If you want to donate, please see Mrs. Moyer or a FCA member. If you can't make it to the games and you want to donate, please email jaime@usd371.org and a plan will be made to collect the money.


Genesis Family Health will be in Montezuma to conduct FREE dental screenings for all students (PreK-5th, 9th-12th) on Wednesday, Jan. 22. Elementary students will come home with the Dental Screening Form to be returned. High School parents, if you would like to opt your student out of the dental screening, please either print the image associated with this post and return to the office or send an email to kelli@usd371.org to request a form.
